Message Thats something I would try but the longer I own this car the less time and inclination I have to work on it unless absolutely necessary (read: happens a lot anyway, lol!).

So to answer the q, I've only driven this suspension with these rate springs; I'm going to be stiffening them by a large percentage; and probably reduce the relative spring rate difference from front and rear so I can tune the car more to more of my driving style.

On the highway the suspension isn't *that bad*, on bigger bumps your kidneys will feel forces but all in all it is a sports car and I prefer it to feel taut and agile. Compared to riding in Glenn's car with Tein flex coilovers (nice adjustable suspension for a taut street car) and other eibach spring/stock TT shock cars it is stiffer and jumps more on hard bumps - a little of this may be reduced when my tired suspension is rebuilt to proper specs.

But on the street I like driving my cushy 750il ;)

Cheers,

Salah
